Spaceborne

MITEQ has supplied hardware for space-flight missions for over twenty-six years. Our emphasis is predominantly in technically challenging requirements, particularly in the area of:

• Low-noise amplifiers
• High-performance microwave mixers
• Frequency synthesizers
• Oscillators
• Logarithmic amplifiers
• Custom designed assemblies

For many years MITEQ's primary area of expertise for space products was in low-noise amplifiers. However, MITEQ has been able to provide a wide spectrum of products and designs by utilizing mature technology delivered on other high-reliability programs. With our extensive space experience, we have been able to use qualification data from our existing designs while delivering custom-engineered units, thereby offering reduced cost and shorter delivery times to our customers.

Below is a list of space programs which MITEQ has supported:
